Does the Vatican control which Bible is made?
Catholic AnswerNo, the Vatican only has control over the Vulgate, which is the official Bible of the Catholic Church, currently the "New Vulgate". It is in Latin. Translations of the Bible must conform to the Vulgate or the original tongues, and anyone who publishes a new translation must seek an Imprimatur from his Bishop, or the Bishop of the diocese in which it is printed. An Imprimatur is supposed to mean that it contains no errors in translation, or heresy in the notes. Unfortunately, over the past fifty years, the Imprimatur has been given out rather indiscriminately, and thus there are Bibles that contain the Imprimatur which may be suspect. You should check with a reputable Catholic website such as Catholic Answers as to whether your Bible is okay or not.

What is the difference between Jerusalem Bible and Community Bible?
Roman Catholic AnswerThe Jerusalem Bible, and The New Jersusalem Bible, are both Catholic Bibles with copious notes, both introductory and footnotes all of which are approved by the Church both with a Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur. (The Nilhil Obstat and Imprimatur are a declaration that a book or pamphlet is considered to be free from doctrinal or moral error. It is not implied that those who have granted the Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur agree with the contents, opinions or statements expressed.) The translation itself is from the original languages, and, for the most part, is exellent. There have been criticisms of the original Jerusalem Bible following the French translation a little too closely. This was corrected in the The New Jerusalem Bible. It is an excellent study Bible, and considered good enough that at one time, it was approved as an alternative to be used for the readings at Mass.I can not find Community Bible, although I do see a series of books on Amazon that are called The Community Study Series (for the Bible). This seems to be an Protestant interpretration of the Bible, and thus rather misleading. I would not recommend any Bible or study series that did not have a Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur.
Does the Vatican have guidelines for writers to follow?

What does it mean to give ones imprimatur to someone?
Catholic AnswerImprimatur is the Latin term that a Bishop uses to signify that he has reviewed a work and that it is free of doctrinal error and may be published in his diocese. from Modern Catholic Dictionary by John A. Hardon, S.J. Doubleday & Co., Inc. Garden City, NY 1980Imprimatur. The Latin term for "let it be printed," which signifies the approval by a bishop of a religion work for publication. Authors are at liberty to obtain the imprimatur either from the bishop where they reside, or where the book is to be published, or where it is printed. Generally the imprimatur, along with the bishop's name and date of approval, is to be shown in the publication. According to a decree of the Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (1975), "the Pastors of the Church have the duty and the right to be vigilant lest the faith and morals of the faithful be harmed by writings; and consequently even to demand that the publication of writings concerning the faith and morals should be submitted to the Church's approval, and also to condemn books and writings that attack faith or morals." (Etym. Latin imprimere, to impress, stamp imprint.)
